Special characters... as in the !
The matching system for + and @ mentions uses the same convention as Twitter and Google Plus, which means it matches on alphanumeric usernames only.
Hence it does not work for special characters.
so ! means that any mention of @Donut!, automatically defaults to @Donut.
so what about @b&d and @>>>>>> does that mean that whenever I @ them, they never get an alert? But how can I send them pm's?
Yes and yes.
And visit their profile and hit "Send Message" and it will populate the user as the To recipient via their profile id.
Though @47910 doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
